Lines in my pictures

My camera is about 1 1/2 years old. When I look at the picture I am going to take, it looks just fine, When I go back to view the picture I took, it has horizontal lines all through it that look a little bit like when you take a picture of a computer screen, only there are more of them. The lines don't show up on older pictures that are already in the camera and it shows up weather the flash is on or off. I didn't see anything in the manual about it and I've replaced the batteries with no change. Thank you!

Olympus X-42 less than 2 yrs old, hardly used. When switched on to take a picture I get a series of coloured (pink, purple etc.) vertical lines on the LCD screen and when I take a picture, the camera...

If the lines are on the images when viewed on the computer then its likely that the cameras sensor is the problem. This is a tricky part to get to as its the heart of the system. Might be time to get a new camera as replacing the sensor will be far more expensive ($150-200+) than a new camera. I had a look on ebay and they are going for less than $50 as they are an old camera now.
Ive replaced my Olympus with a Sony Cybershot W830, 20mp and 8x zoom, direct from Sony for $150.

Try to reformat your internal memory, and then turn On the camera and use the auto mode or smart scene mode. Take a two pictures on a same subject then review the pictures after, now if the two pictures has lines on it and it has a pink in colors it means that the lens of the camera is defective that`s why it will not take a good picture. Please call kodak 1 800 235 6325 so you can request for repair
